My best friend RUINED my proposal as a ‘joke’ so I’ve uninvited him from my wedding – he’s just jealous of my happiness

A MAN has revealed that his best friend ruined his proposal as a ‘joke’ - he reckons his friend is jealous, and had to uninvite him from the wedding.

A husband-to-be shared his shocking story on Reddit, and hundreds of commenters have weighed in to advise him on the situation.

The 26-year-old man had planned a surprise proposal for his 24-year-old girlfriend.

He said he knew his girlfriend wouldn’t really care about many aspects of the proposal, but that she really wanted it to be a surprise. 

He wrote: “I got her the ring of her dreams, & planned a whole weekends in the mountains which is her favorite place.”

He deliberately invited a few friends on the trip, so it would believably appear to be a friends’ getaway, and the surprise wouldn’t be ruined.

One of these friends, however, was determined to ruin the occasion.

The man continued: “One friend is my childhood best friend. He likes to say things to get reactions out of people, and it has caused us to drift apart in the past.”

Right before the proposal was due to take place, another one of the man’s friends told him that the secret was out.

He wrote: “About 20 minutes before we were set to go, our friend came to me & said that my friend had told my fiancé I was going to propose to her. 

“She had heard him tell her & said that my fiancé seemed upset & asked him why he would ruin the surprise.”

“I went to him and asked why he told her and he said ‘because it was funny’. 

“He wanted to see her reaction and the fact he ruined it for her was funny to him. I told him it was unfair and childish.”

Even after this ordeal, the friend continued to make thoughtless jokes, and the man had no choice but to uninvite him from the wedding.

“He’s only gotten worse, making inappropriate remarks when he visits, asking me if I’ll ever get tired of the ‘same thing in my bed every night’, and overall ruining the few events we have had for our wedding. 

“It’s made me and my fiancé extremely upset.

“The last time I saw him I told him that he acts jealous of my relationship and that he can’t come to my wedding if he’s going to act like this/possibly ruin our wedding too. 

“That as of right now, I don’t want to see him coming at all or being a part of my life.”

The man’s parents, however, think he’s completely overreacting.

He said: “My parents and his are now upset that I’m letting his ‘playful’ behavior ruin our friendship. They insist it’s me who’s jealous because he’s ‘single and free’.”

Commenters agreed the man was better off without his friend.

“This person is not your friend, his actions show that he will purposefully ruin your happiness for his own amusement”, said one.

Some even thought there was a risk of the friend ruining the wedding if he managed to get an invite. 

One wrote: “He sounds toxic, and I wouldn’t doubt it if he ruined your wedding too out of his jealousy.”

Another added: “He will 100% try to object to the wedding during the ceremony. Keep him far away!”
